The effect of organic matter content and turning cycle on municipal solid waste windrow composting
(2004)This study set out to examine the policy position in Kenyan health care financing, with regard to implementation of the proposed social health scheme (NSHIF) and its performance potential. The specific objectives were to: ... -
Effect of runner design on mechanical properties of permanent mould aluminium castings
(2006)A comparison of the influence of different runner designs on the mechanical properties of aluminium castings has shown that filtered rectangular runners (FRRs) yield aluminium castings with higher and more reliable mechanical ... -
The effect of strain rate and specimen length on the stress-strain relationship of vegetation roots used in slope stabilization.
(University of Nairobi, 2015)The main objective of this investigation was to provide information about the contribution of plant roots to soil shear strength. Reconnaissance of the case study areas was undertaken and geology of the areas established, ... -
The Effect Of Stress Ratio And Frequency On Fatigue Crack Growth
(1979)Fatigue crack growth tests were performed on compact tension specimens (CTS) made in two thicknesses 12 and 24 mm. Tests were conducted at two frequencies of 0·25 and 30 Hz, applying a stress ratio R varying from – 0·7 to ... -
Effect of temperature on properties of bituminous mixtures
(2004)Kenya experienced extraordinarily heavy rainfall between May 1997 and February 1988 due to the El Nino weather phenomenon. This period of about 10 Months of heavy rainfall caused widespread landslides and floods in various ... -

(Civil and Construction Engineering Building, University of Nairobi, 2008)Kenya experienced extraordinarily heavy rainfall between May 1997 and February 1988 due to the El Nino weather phenomenon. This period of about 10 Months of heavy rainfall caused widespread landslides and floods in various ... -
Effect of voids on hardening of asphaltic concrete on flexible road and airport pavements
(2004)Kenya experienced extraordinarily heavy rainfall between May 1997 and February 1988 due to the El Nino weather phenomenon. This period of about 10 Months of heavy rainfall caused widespread landslides and floods in various ... -
The effect of welding on the fatigue crack growth rate in a structural steel
(1993)Fracture mechanics principles have been used to study the effects of welding on the rate of fatigue crack growth (FCG) in a low-carbon structural steel. The steel concerned is used widely in the fabrication of the ... -

Effects of Distributed Generation penetration on system power losses and voltage profiles
(University of Nairobi, 2013)In present times, the use of DG systems in large amounts in different power distribution systems has become very popular and is growing on with fast speed. Although it is considered that DG reduces losses and improves ... -
Effects of Friction Stir Welding on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Extruded Secondary Aluminum 6061 Alloy
(University of Nairobi, 2021)Experiments were carried out to determine the effects of friction stir welding on microstructure and properties of recycled Aluminum 6061 alloy, whose alloy content varied from that of primary alloy. The alloy was processed ... -
Effects of globalization in training architectural design
(Department of Architecture and Building Science, University of Nairobi, 2011)African architect unable to solve context-specific design challenges or explore context-specific design opportunities that Africa offers. This paper analyses some of the basis of western training that have had structural impacts ... -
